Sam Leavitt To Sign With Lane Kiffin & LSU

[joeB954]

If I’m upping the pay to $6m, I am for sure giving it to Simpson over **** for brains and his brother

Money won’t be mentioned if anyone else gets Leavitt. It’s only mentioned when Miami gets players. If he goes somewhere else it’s just because they are better. Somehow we’re the only team that pays for players in the NIL era. According to the media.

Mario will get his qb guys let's worry about this natty first. Wtf are you all thinking

Most one year college starters have flopped in the NFL, or to build a successful career as a starting quarterback. Over the last decade, Kyler Murray is the only quarterback to have any success. Technically he had a few starts at Texas A&M before transferring to Oklahoma. He’s had a pretty good career although I think Arizona may be moving on and Mary has reached his ceiling.

Otherwise, you’re looking at players like Mac Jones, Trey Lance, Dwayne Haskins, Anthony Richardson, and Mitch Trubisky.

Teams are looking for the next Cam Newton, but he was an exception and outlier in many ways. I don’t know if any quarterback in the last 20 years brought the same physical traits as Newton. And even so, Newton was limited as a passer thrived because of his running skills.

Simpson is making a mistake. I know the NFL is always looking for quarterbacks but I have a hard time believing a franchise would spend the first round pick on him. But then again, then I fell to the quarterbacks mentioned above in the first round. General managers and head coaches just fall in love with players sometimes and project what isn’t there.

The smart move would be to take the $5 million and transfer to Miami where he can further develop his skills. Get those “banked reps”.

Never underestimate the ability of people who make millions of dollars to make absolutely stupid decisions.
Anthony Richardson being one of the latest.
If that guy can go round one then Simpson can absolutely do it.

I'm not even at 5 for him.

IMO, he’s not worth more than $3.5 due to that foot injury but considering the possible alternative of Emory if no Simpson, I’ll pay $5.

This is the issue when we leave the QB position for last especially when so many other QBs are already gone. You are left with desperation and bad options.

I am not giving Leavitt more than $5 mil.

Assuming the fall back is Simpson then yeah

But if Simpson goes pro and an extra mil to Leavitt avoids trotting Emory Williams out there week 1 then I’ll sell a kidney if I have to

 

[sansk]

Leavitt seems like f@ggot

 

[Santana Sosa]

Make Simpson say no.

The hit rate for guys with Simpson’s amount of starts is atrocious.

From the sounds of it, anything outside of Bama...he will say no too. His advisor is going to have to do his job at some point.

 

[TwentySix]

get past Manning hype and next year’s class of QB is just as soft as this one.

Disrespectful to Sellers

 

[90scane]

Leavitt is a take even if you don’t like his brother, his religion, his personality… he is a good football player. Beck had some red flags but that was proven to be BS.

Simpson needs more starts at the college level and really would benefit from a better OL and a run game. I can only imagine him with some PA.

 

[PSU Cane]

The article suggests the $6.5 million offer is not an SEC team:

At least one program has offered Simpson a deal that could total $6.5 million to play in 2026, according to one source with direct knowledge. Three SEC schools have also presented offers of at least $4 million and more for Simpson.

The wording of "a deal that COULD total"

All the numbers floated out there are always inflated and BS bc they include a lot of additional things. The base is always much lower (sometimes much lowers) imo.

I can see 4 million honestly. He's a JR.

But that's also the problem...5 million this year, he will want 6.5 Sr year if he doesnt go pro.

 

[dycane]

Man, if my son were a tier one QB, I’d tell every school the first one to get me a membership to Seminole Golf Club has him locked up for $1 per annum.

Can you take Sam without the brother? Everything I've seen says they are a package deal. How do you keep him away from the team?

I love the “He’s not worth x amount, I’d stop at x amount” in a world where there’s no salary cap.

 

[PIPO]

You aren’t worth 26

 

[CanesSkins26]

I love the “He’s not worth x amount, I’d stop at x amount” in a world where there’s no salary cap.

Especially when it’s referring to someone else’s money.

 

[TheUBack]

I also think we should get Longstreet in for a visit. Get one of Leavitt, Raiola, Longstreet or Simpson

 

[DerekDohrman]

what kind of message do you send to all the other kids on the team if you pay one guy that much more than them? at some point, it plays a factor.

just make sure if you do, you know the kid will put his body on the line for his team like beck has.

 

[ajamaican]

Exactly, dude. No salary cap and it’s not my money.

I don’t give a ****. Get good football players.
